Signal, telegram etc have the same problematic architectures. Of those kinds of solutions, I like Threema best, but nobody uses them (which is only a problem because of their architecture).

So I wanted to get a solution with a decentralized architecture, pretty much like the fediverse.

From what I can see, the fediverse activityPub with MLS layer project (to enable fediverse end-to-end encrypted messaging) is still in the functional documentation stage.

So, what do you think of Element as a messenger (which uses matrix protocol)?

https://digital-justice.com/articles/skip-signal.html There's also a lengthy GitHub comment on that topic, but I dropped the link.

That article is pretty outdated by now, and a lot of the concerns have since been addressed.

It also was written before the security and memory leak issues Matrix has were widely revealed .
